Thanks. I thought for sure that there was such a requirement in the NEC. But, I know you know this stuff, and after reading what you wrote I did a lot of Google searching on the subject. And, just as you said, there is no such requirement in the U.S.A. I did find a requirement regarding lighting fixtures (luminaires) being within 3 feet of, or less than 8 feet above, a wet area etc. But, there is nothing like that for receptacles or switches. Amazing.
Strange to me as well. I actually saw a light switch in the tile directly over a bathtub. This was an original installation, in a 1920 mansion

Thanks, you and RBM.
Now I'm dying to have a 20A device so I can have one of those cool plugs on the end.
Just don't confuse it with a 240V plug. They look the same (in a mirror ;).
I had a computer installed, many years ago. The *stupid* CE didn't recognize the difference (between a 240V plug and a 120V/20A) and was about to cut the plug off and replace it with one that would "fit".
